Gathering Wave

Winter wind is coming in the west door
Running streams are running to the lakeshore
Flying geese are pictures in the western sky

Find a place for your smiling face
Don't lose your ways in the coming of days
Keep your head straight and listen to your heartbeat's pace

We're all out here looking for something
Maybe for a place where the music's bumping
Wouldn't it be something if we danced the night away?

Change has come
It's knocking at my window

I'm standing in the middle of somewhere
Doing my best just to be here
To stand up straight on the gathering wave
And roll roll roll into someday

I've got a shield and its a good defense
When I'm lacking my innocence
When the evidence is just too much

I'm taking a picture of the northern sky
I'm memorizing my alibi
So that when I die I'll have the story straight

Change has come it's knocking at my window

I'm standing in the middle of somewhere
Doing my best just to be here
To stand up straight on the gathering wave
And roll roll roll into someday
